      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted

      Given that the argument for packing the Court *assumes* that the Court otherwise lacks public legitimacy, it's a pretty big retreat to "well, maybe if we keep at it, we can erode the Court's legitimacy enough to get voters to reconsider something 58% of them disapprove of." https://twitter.com/Susan_Hennessey/status/1318550586627887109 …

      Just 11 days ago, @Susan_Hennessey was telling us that Court-packing was justified bc "overwhelming majorities of voters" wanted to delay Barrett's confirmation. Now NYT/Siena has 47-39 in favor of vote now, Gallup has 51% for confirming her. https://twitter.com/Susan_Hennessey/status/1314307175771254785 …

      The news just does not get better for the "burn down the Court over Barrett" argument the further you get into this poll.pic.twitter.com/hnljJSmIlA

      You skipped right to "solution to the legitimacy crisis," assuming the *existence* of a legitimacy crisis. In fact, public trust in the Court is higher now - significantly higher - than it was before the Garland fight https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-10-07/biden-harris-should-be-honest-about-court-packing … https://twitter.com/Susan_Hennessey/status/1318558664786087950 …

          She was smart enough to realize it's "expansion", not "packing" (which has been going on for 2 years). But whatever suits your 'unbiased' narrative.pic.twitter.com/EIBkgL2F2o

          "Packing" is the historically accurate term for expanding the Court. Everybody who learned about FDR's Court-packing plan in grade school knows that.

          I would like to know who believes the public trust is higher. I think you are either making that up or got that from Fox News.

          They polled people since RBG died? That’s impressive.
